Two Baha’is arrested in Mashhad


Two Baha’i residents of Mashhad were arrested and transferred to an unidentified location.

HRANA: According to the Baha’i Committee for Human Rights Activists in Iran, two Baha’i youth, Bahman Yazdani and Vesal Mohammadi, were arrested on Tuesday by security officials. They were sent to an unidentified location.

Intelligence agents raided the residence of Mr. Bahman Yazdani and confiscated his CD’s, books, computer, and mobile. Vesal Mohammadi’s workplace was also searched by the agents.

Baha’is are one of Iran’s largest non-Muslim minorities, and are under systematic persecution by the Iranian government.
